Jessica Simpson Is Finally A Mum! Delivers Baby Girl - Maxwell Drew Johnson

It has been a long time coming, but Jessica Simpson has given birth to her first child.

The 31-year-old star today welcomed a baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson, into the world, announcing the happy news via a banner on her official website.

Jessica wrote: 'Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson.

'We are so grateful for all the love, support and prayers we have received. This is been the greatest experience of our lives.'

Maxwell weighed in at 9lbs 13oz, and apparently takes her middle name from Jessica's mother Tina, whose maiden name is Drew.

While Drew pays tribute to Jessica's side of the family, Maxwell is Eric's middle name.

Members of the Jessica’s family were spotted arriving at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles today.

Jessica’s mother and sister Ashlee, and the parents of her fiancé Eric Johnson, were seen at the hospital with excited looks on their faces.
